How do I search my computer for all files?
Search File Explorer: Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu, and choose File Explorer, then select a location from the left pane to search or browse. For example, select This PC to look in all devices and drives on your computer, or select Documents to look only for files stored there.
Why are documents not showing up in search results?
The user might not have not even read access to a user. Open the document library settings (a library which user can’t see the search results) Enable “yes” for “Allow items from this document library to appear in search results?” (6 option) Ask the support team to perform an incremental/full crawl.
Verify that the version of the document that’s missing from search results is a major version of the document. If the version is a minor version, it will not be displayed in the search results until it’s checked in and published as a major version. As an admin, locate the document that’s missing from search results.
Why do I get no results in File Explorer?
Sometimes, there might be no search results because the involved drive doesn’t allow indexing file contents. If this is applicable to your case, you can try changing the setting to fix the issue. Just navigate to This PC in your File Explorer.
To make the document available in search results, select the three dots () next to the document to see more settings. This time, select the Advanced option, and then select Publish a Major Version. The admin can go back to Version History and see that the document is published as a major version, typically a later version than 1.0.
